summary

Argument: buzzwords obscure concrete meaning and slow problem solving; specific examples include calling modernization digital transformation when it simply means overhaul or modernize, labeling roles as ninjas or rock stars in job ads, and describing services as uber for X. Buzzwords turn people into “resources,” encourage unrealistic hero expectations that drive burnout, and let vendors sell vague “DevOps” solutions instead of real tools or measurable outcomes. The remedy is plain language and precise claims about what got built and how it performed.
